We just bought an S40 back in Dec. (an '01)  We compared about 30 cars
(drove about 15 of 'em in two days!)  I'm happy to say that the price was
reasonable - mid-ish 20's with leather, Preimum audio, sunroof, etc.  The
little 1.9T engine is fun, and the 5-speed auto is cool. (We both prefer
sticks, but SoCal has waaaaay to much traffic...)

All in all, a great vaule, and very comfortable for long drives.  I had
never considered a Volvo before, but I'm hooked.
